Embedded Literacy and Numeracy Self-Assessment Tool

Project Details

The Self-Assessment Tool for Embedded Literacy and Numeracy (ELN Self-Assessment Tool) aims to help Tertiary Education Organisations and Industry Training Organisations identify their strengths and areas for improvement concerning the embedding of literacy and numeracy, as an integral part of the organisations' existing self-assessment processes.

The Whole-of-Organisation Self-Assessment Tool for Embedded Literacy and Numeracy consists of a User Guide and three sets of questionnaires:

nine questionnaires for self-assessing ELN across an entire organisation or an organisational unit in a Tertiary Education Organisation (TEO-O)

Key Points to Note:

The ELN Self-Assessment Tool reflects a whole-of-organisation approach to embedded literacy and numeracy, with a particular focus on those parts of an organisation that are deemed to have the most impact on the quality of embedded literacy and numeracy in the organisation.

The ELN Self-Assessment Tool assists with continuous improvement of literacy and numeracy learner/trainee outcomes as well as embedded literacy and numeracy practices within the organisation.

It is important to read the User Guide and the information provided by the infographics before putting the ELN Self-Assessment Tool into practice.
